"At Xian Sushi And Noodle, the name of the game is, well, sushi and noodles. And while the sushi here is better than your average spot that tries to juggle multiple cuisines, the noodles are what we’re heading to Xian for. They’re hand-pulled—a very entertaining sight to see when you walk in the door—and come in six varying thicknesses on a scale from “vermicelli” to “triangle.” And if you think that’s a lot of options, just wait until you see the different preparations. There are red-braised beef noodles, shoyu ramen, tom yum chicken noodle soup, and more—the red braised beef noodles are especially good. There are a few locations in the Austin area, including Mueller, The Domain, Round Rock, and San Marcos. " - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
